Howl's Moving Castle is one of the many exquisitely animated (and profoundly confusing) expressions of destiny, growth, and love brought to us by Hayao Miyazaki. An even more ubiquitous theme in his films, however, is food.

I made bacon and eggs in Japan (was traveling for work) and let me tell you, it looks exactly like it does in Spirited Away. I think Japanese bacon is cut differently than American bacon to be less fatty and more meaty. The flavor was very different too, it was slightly saltier than American bacon and tasted more "natural". And their egg yolks really are this deep orange color and the yolk has a deeper flavor.
